A Lake Tahoe couple filed a police report saying they received numerous death threats and harassing messages after reporting problems with a black bear that was captured and euthanized by Nevada wildlife officials.

Richard and Adrienne Evans of Incline Village filed the report with the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday, the same day the bear was killed.

The couple says phone threats started coming Wednesday night to their home and Richard Evans’ construction office after wildlife officials installed a trap outside their home.

  1. When my Dad had recovered enough from his WW II wounds he joined the Buncombe County Wildlife Club and began going on bear hunts around WNC carrying an M-1. He never euthanized a bear himself but he always returned with a bag of bear meat which my Mother cooked to a state of delicacy.

  2. Heck, me and commenter Lou had to chase a bear away from the door of Lou's cabin in South Lake Tahoe a couple of years ago, and Lou had one actually break in and grab a bag of bagels off the kitchen table while he and his wife were up one summer a couple of years before that. They aren't really all that wild in the Tahoe basin, I can testify from personal experience. What's worse, sometimes they even come at you in a gang!!
